Un Blog di Moda - Rough Draft - Due Monday, December 2, 2019

Un Blog di Moda - ROUGH DRAFT

The first draft of our project "Blog di Moda," will be due on Monday, December 2, 2019. You may hand this in before December 2nd if you would like.

Your final project, a fashion blog, will consist of a picture/pictures/drawings of people. You will describe the pictures with at least 15 sentences in Italian (total). Please include what the people in the pictures are wearing, colors, and materials (all in ch. 10). If you have three pictures, you can write five sentences per picture. Be sure that these pictures can fit on a piece of computer paper (this is the size that I want your final project to be).  

On Monday, December, 2, 2019, I will collect the 15 sentence rough draft ONLY (with no pictures). Be sure that you know which pictures you will be describing. Do not talk about Britney Spears in her famous jean-outfit with Justin Timberlake, and then hand in a final copy of Lady Gaga in her meat-dress with text describing Britney Spears. Do not hand in a nice final draft for your rough draft as I am going to write all over it/correct it.

Just a friendly reminder - do not use Google Translate! The online dictionary wordreference.com is very helpful. If there are any verb tenses in your writing that we have NOT learned (we only know two verb tenses ...the passato prossimo and the present), then you will receive a 0.

If you do not hand in a rough draft, you will get a 0 and I will not correct your draft late. Please be sure to hand it in on time. 

Thank you.

EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY - Autobiografia, due Tuesday, November 12

The following is OPTIONAL but will result in a free five points towards a test. This is due by Tuesday, November 12. 

Please write fifteen sentences about yourself in Italian. This is the FINAL and only draft of this project, so put forth your best effort for this assignment.

Use the questions below as a guide.  Please note that "Ciao" or any other greeting does not count as a sentence.

This may be typed or neatly written. Please do not use Google Translate or any other translation device. Should I see that you used any other tense besides the present or past tense, you will not receive extra credit for this assignment.

All language should be simple and mostly in the present tense. Please remember, a dictionary is not a translation device. I highly recommend that you use wordreference.com should you need to look up any vocabulary.

Please be sure to...
1. Write fifteen sentences in Italian
2. Include a picture or drawing of yourself
3. Make your autobiography beautiful and creative (this will go up on my bulletin board)
